Sam
Wheat (Patrick Swayze) is killed in a botched burglary. He is in
love with Molly Jensen (Demi Moore). When he dies his ghost stays
on earth.

He
discovers that his previously thought to be best friend Carl Bruner
(Tony Goldwyn) in fact was behind his death. Sam stumbles upon a
spiritual medium Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg) who can hear but
not see him...

What
our panel of critics thought

"Never
have I cried so loudly and at length to a floating penny! To this
very day I cannot look at loose change in the eye without collapsing
into an inconsolable heap!"

"A
terrible, missed, opportunity for hot girl-on-girl action towards
the end of the movie. Whoopi jumping on Demi's bones! Oh what a
missed opportunity, damn them!"

"The
pottery scene has been ruined by the Naked Gun send up. Damn them.
I will never be able to potter erotically without laughing again!"

"Not
since The Omen have I seen such a bloody, glass induced, ending."

Please
tell me the ending or whole plot if necessary

Sam
persuades OdeMae
to go see Molly. Molly is persuaded that Sam is a ghost but Ode
Mae runs when she hears a murderer is involved and is about to come
and get them...

Ode
May helps Sam remove the $4 million from a bank account for which
Sam was murdered. She gives the bankers draft to a group of Nuns.
This makes bad boy, former friend, Carl, into Angry Man: he goes
to get Molly and Ode Mae.

Sam
gets Ode May to go see Molly again in an emotional encounter involving
loose change.

Carl
comes to kill Molly, but Sam has discovered how to move things with
his mind... In the ensuing fight Carl is stopped by a glass guillotine
type incident...

Carl
dies and the dogs come after him... Sam goes to Heaven in a Christ
like, resurrection inspired, shiny ending...

Quotable quotes (real)

"Ditto."

"A
penny for luck"

A
fine and dandy movie with something for everyone. Nice philosophy
on life too... the good spirit goes on to a higher plain on death,
with the bad guys being eaten by dogs...
